100% agree and think you nailed it on the head.
The private industry raffles is what I was primarily referring too. The Non profit and state raffles are consistent and have been around for a long time. I support those all day long and have no question to their benefit toward conservation...
Yes sir i understand the NGO raffles and fully support those. Those are the only raffles I currently participate in as they are fundraisers for a great causes! But not all raffles today are through NGO's and it seems like I see more and more that are outside the NGO systems.
It's honestly not...
I was curious what peoples opinions are on hunt raffles and particularly in regards to coveted sheep hunts?
I'll admit I used to really enjoy the raffles and viewed them as an opportunity to potentially win something I could otherwise never afford. That was back when you would see a handful...
Like others have mentioned I would imagine the market will end up driving your prices up quickly but I do like the idea. I honestly think approaching sheep specifically like this would help guided hunts throughout the state put less pressure on having to kill an animal. I know a lot of guys...

Justin is an amazing guide and outfitter. My wife had an amazing sheep hunt with him last fall where he worked extremely hard to make sure she was successful. If you have any questions let me know.
Congrats on winning a life changing opportunity!
I won a sheep hunt back in 2019 through epic outdoors and it truly changed my life. Right after getting back from that hunt my wife and I booked a hunt for her that we went on this past year. Amazing experiences all around so enjoy every minute...
I don't have any horror stories but have done two alaska sheep hunts now and have learned a few tricks.
On our hunt this fall I purchased air tags to place inside our checked bags and would highly recommend doing. If was nice being able to check if our bags made it when we landed in AK and...
I'll put a vote in for Kokanee Guide Services! My wife and I just returned from a hunt with him this year and we couldn't be more happy with our decision to hunt with him. He only runs a handful of hunters each year and guides all of them himself which was a huge deciding factor for us.

Man listening to all the stories is really amazing and shows how large the sheep hunting bug goes! It still amazes me at how some people seem to be a little more lucky than others but that's the application game as a whole.
My take aways so far:
1)Apply early and where ever you can
2)Save what...
I completely agree with all your mentalities and will keep paying the piper hoping to get lucky(again) and or I run out of money! In the meantime I plan to save up and go to Alaska every 4-5 years as long as Dall prices don't get too ridiculous!
I also keep crossing my fingers that some...
